oats ought to be sown from the first
to the 25th day of September, so
that you can graze during the winter

But you eau make good wheat plant

early enough to take root before

eight or sixty thousand Republicans

ami that Jefferson and Jackson

the conclusion, how we apples can

G. Carlisle, pass the Blair bill, re
peal the tax on whiSkey ard tobacco,
and induce the Federal government
to assume the debt of Virginia aud

now We bring about two thirds of
